When teams are deciding who to sign if Free Agent A and Free Agent B are equal players, but Free Agent A has received a Q/O a team will offer Free Agent A less than Free Agent B to sign since signing Free Agent A will also "cost" a draft pick

You really don't like those owners, do you, CB? In your own way, you are more of a Marxist than I am.
Thanks for the clarification.
